Application filed August 4, 1914. Serial No. 855,001.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ASA H. HAznLroN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Fresno, in the county of Fresno and State of California, have invented a new and useful Oil-Burner of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to improvements in oil burners, one object of the invention being the provision of a burner adapted to properly gasify the oil and direct the flames therefrom so that the greatest amount of heat units are absorbed therefrom in cooking ranges or like stoves.

A further object of the present invention, is the provision of a burner receptacle adapted to rest upon the grate within the stove while the oil and air is directed eX- teriorly thereof and from above so that the atomized or proper mixture of oil and air will be delivered into the spreading and flame directing boc y thereof.

A still further object of the invention, is the provision of a simple and inexpensive burner of this character, which is composed of a few number of parts and is readily cleaned and easily installed.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed can be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the drawingsFigure 1 is a view taken from the end thereof showing the present inventioninstalled in a cooking range, which is shown in dotted lines. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the complete burner. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view therethrough. Fig. 4 is a top plan view with the oil directing tube and cover removed. Fig. 5 is a cross section taken on line 55 of Fig. 3.

Referring to the drawings, the numeral 1 designates the burner proper or main receptacle, which is provided with the central chamber 2 having disposed transversely thereof, the arched or curved grid or deflector 3, while at each side thereof are the two projections 4c which provide the two central slots 5, said slots 5 being so disposed upon opposite sides of the deflector 3, and as illustrated in Fig. 4, to constitute a cruciform figure. It will be noted that the upper edge of the deflector is slightly above the junction between the walls of the chamber 2 and the oppositely inclined bottom of the main receptacle.

The upper edges of the rim of the burner 1 adjacent the central chamber 2 are recessed as at 6 for the reception of the cover 7, this cover 7 being provided with the two ribs 7 upon the lower face thereof to prevent the turning of the cover when in position and also to assist in looking it against longitudinal displacement. Carried by the cover 7 is the air directing tube 8, which is projected a slight distance below the cover so as to direct the air upon the upper surface of the deflector 3 which acts as a spreader and atomizer for the air and oil which is directed through the oil directing nozzle 9. This oil directing nozzle 9 as clearly illustrated in Fig. 1, projects eX-' teriorly of the stove S at the front thereof and is connected to the valve casing 10 which is controlled by the needle valve 11, a sight opening 12 being provided and covered with glass so that the operator may see at a glance the direction of flow of oil from the supply pipe 13.

The burner proper 1 as shown in Fig. 1 is disposed to rest upon the grate 1. so that the open ends thereof provided by the seating of the cover 7 in place, permits the direction of the flames outwardly and upwardly toward the under surface of the stove top, and as the tube 8 and pipe 9 are at the front portion of the stove, the

flames will be directed thereaway from so as not to affect them to any great extent. By making the cover 7 removable, the interior of the burner 1 may be readily cleaned when it becomes necessary. By providing the deflector 3 disposed transversely of and centrally at the bottom of the chamber 2, the oil directed from the outlet end of the nozzle 9 will engage the same and will be splashed or spread so that the inrushing air drawn by the inrushing oil, through the tube 8, will be thoroughly commingled therewith to produce the necessary amount of oxygen with the oil to secure the maximum of heat from the flames.

The present device may be readily installed in ranges now in use, as is evident from the illustration in Fig. 1.

What is claimed is: 1. An oil burner, including a receptacle having a centrally disposed depressed chamber and having its bottom inclined from the upper edge of said chamber outwardly toward the ends of the receptacle, a curved deflector member mounted transversely of the chamber and having its upper edge slightly above the junction between the walls of the chamber and the inclined bottom of the receptacle, a plate disposed above the depressed portion and the deflector and terminating short oi the ends of the recep tacle to provide two oppositely disposed flame outlets, and an air and oil directing pipe discharging above the deflector.

An oil burner, including a receptacle having a centrally disposed depressed cham ber and having its bottom inclined from the upper edge off said chamber outwardly toward the ends of the receptacle, a curved deflector member mounted transversely of the chamber and having its upper edge slightly above the junction between the walls of the chamber and the inclined bottom of the receptacle, a plate disposed above the depressed portion and the deflector and terminating short of the ends of the receptacle to provide two oppositely disposed flame outlets, a pipe carried by the plate and having its lower end disposed above and out of contact with the deflector, and an oil directing nozzle disposed within the pipe for directing oil to the deflector.

3. An oil burner, including a receptacle having a centrally disposed depressed cham her and having its bottom inclined from the upper edge of said chamber outwardly toward the ends of the receptacle, a curved deflector member mounted transversely of the chamber and having its upper edge slightly above the junction between the walls of the chamber and the inclined bot tom of the receptacle, a plate disposed above the depressed portion and the deflector and terminating short of the ends of the receptacle to provide two oppositely disposed flame outlets, a pipe carried by the plate and having its lower end disposed above a d out of contact with the deflector, and an oil directing nozzle disposed within the pipe for directing oil to the deflector, being bodily removable and carrying th rewith the pipe.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnessev.
